Endogenous Regulatory Mechanisms

Meaning

Endogenous Regulatory Mechanisms are the complex, self-contained biological processes and feedback loops originating from within the body that are responsible for maintaining physiological stability, or homeostasis. These intrinsic systems govern virtually every aspect of health, including hormone secretion, metabolic rate, immune surveillance, and circadian rhythm. Understanding and supporting these innate regulatory capacities is the cornerstone of preventative and longevity-focused clinical practice. Dysfunction in these mechanisms is the fundamental driver of age-related decline and chronic disease pathology.
